Overview
The 2026 Yamaha T-MAX 500 is a scooter in the TMAX family, produced for 2026. Its liquid-cooled, four-stroke, two-cylinder engine displaces 530 cm³ and produces 53 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm; the motorcycle weighs 213 kg.
An 800 mm seat height may make it harder for shorter riders to get both feet down, while the 213 kg weight can take more effort to manage at walking speeds. The automatic gearbox avoids manual shifting in stop-and-go traffic, and the V-belt final drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust. Ground clearance is 124 mm, so large bumps and steep transitions can require care.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Automatic transmission
It removes the need to operate a clutch and shift gears, which can simplify riding in traffic.
V-belt final drive
There is no chain to clean or adjust.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 213 kg, it can take more effort to maneuver while parking or moving slowly.
Tall seat
The 800 mm seat may make it difficult for shorter riders to put both feet down.
Limited ground clearance
With 124 mm of clearance, large bumps and steep transitions can be more challenging to cross.
